>> arthel: we are minutes away from a live interview with congressman. eric will do the interview. this just days after he was attacked on stage while campaigning for new york governor. this will be his first interview addressing the suspect's arrest on federal charges. welcome to another hour of fox news live. i'm arthel neville. >> eric: hi, arthel. i'm eric shawn. i will speak with the republican congressman from long island who is running as the g.o.p. nominee

for governor. we will talk to him in a few minutes about the frightening alleged attack on as a spectator tried to allegedly stab him with a sharp object. he's blaming cashless bail in new york state for letting that man out. he then was charged federally. this also ahead in the next hour, the migrant surge at our southern border is not slowing down despite the brutal, dangerous, deadly summer heat down south. fox news rode along with the texas department of public safety agents overnight. we will have that report and show you what they found at the border. >> arthel: but first president biden's physician says his covid symptoms are continuing to improve quite significantly. this as the president's economic advisors weigh in ahead of the report due this week that could show whether the economy is in a recession. we are live at the white house with more. >> hi, arthel. president biden's runny nose, cough, and body aches have diminished. his main symptom is a sore

throat which his physician says is encouraging and a sign his body is clearing the virus. he's continuing on the anti-viral treatment paxlovid as well as an inhaler he's using occasionally for the cough. we haven't seen the president all weekend, though. the white house hasn't released new video or photo yesterday or today. seeking to down play the concerns about the president's diagnosis, the white house has not made biden's physician available for questions. officials say the president is fully vaccinated, twice boosted and experiencing a mild case. >> he's been very engaged. you rightly noted that he had his normal meeting with the national security team to go over the intelligence operations around the world. so from a national security perspective, i can tell you we haven't missed a beat. >> biden will continue to carry out his duties in isolation where he will remain through tuesday. ahead of the week's gdp reading, the white house pirs appears -- white house appears

to be bracing for a second quarter of negative growth, commonly referred to as a recession. the white house said they won't be using the r word itself. >> what a recession really means is a broad-based contraction in the economy. even if that number is negative, we're not in a recession now. >> the council of economic advisors redefining what a recession is, writing in their blog that official determinations take a holistic look at the data including the labor market, consumer and business spending, industrial production and incomes, and quote, based on these data, it is unlikely that the decline in gdp in the first quarter of this year even if followed by another gdp decline in the second quarter indicates a recession. the white house is relying on the national bureau of economic research to make that determination, but remember, that very organization back in 2008 did not declare that a recession had begun until december of that year, when it had in fact started a year earlier. arthel? >> arthel: we will keep an eye on it.

meanwhile, we wish president biden a complete recovery. thanks. >> thanks. >> when you look at the crime within our streets, you look what happened to lee zeldin, that's a direct effect of what the democratic policies are. there is an opportunity in 107 days to change the history, a new direction in the commitment of america. >> eric: that's house minority leader mccarthy speak on thursday's alleged attack on congressman lee zeldin frm . you see him at the campaign event. the suspect in the cap walking up to him 43-year-old david jakubonis. he was released hours later under new york's cashless bail policy. he was arrested by the feds yesterday after the feds were able to file an assault charge against him because mr. zeldin

is a federal official. he is in court -- he will be in court on wednesday for a bail hearing. the attempted attack being seen as exhibit 1 for the fault of the progressive criminal justice policies. its critics say in part responsible for. congressman lee zeldin is joining me now. we're so glad you are okay. i'm sure your wife diana and the two girls clearly revealed and thankful you are okay. >> my wife got the first phone call from my campaign manager who was able to tell her what had happened and that i was o as opposed to getting a bunch of frantic texts from people who would spook her into fearing more, fearing the worst. i'm very grateful for the seven to ten people who quickly within moments tackled and subdued the guy. i'm grateful for the county sheriff's office who was there

within minutes to arrest this person. as you pointed out, and i predicted on the spot, it is a shame that new york's cashless bail law means that this person can attempt to stab anyone, let alone a member of congress at a campaign event running for governor and be released within hours. it required the feds to step up and to charge this person, and right now as you and i are having this conversation, he is being detained. this shouldn't have even come to this. it is no doubt that some of these offenses that are being committed in new york, the judge should have diskegs to keep someone behind bars -- should have discretion to keep someone behind bars. >> jakubonis said he was allegedly drinking whiskey all day and decided to walk up on the stage and this sort of thing. but now he faces, if convicted, 10 years, 10 years in federal prison. what's so ironic, congressman, if you are not an average joe, if you are an average joe just like the rest of us, he would still be out on the streets.

>> that's right. this federal charge that he's facing is because i'm a member of congress, and if i wasn't a member of congress, he would have been instantly released and still be on the streets right now. there's two part issue to this. one is with new york's cashless bail law, i'm speaking to you from westchester county where someone was released on cashless bail on an arson and rearrested on a double manslaughter. couple of days ago i was in syracuse, somebody had been released on cashless bail and got rearrested after murdering 93-year-old connie torrey. just a few weeks ago, we saw here in new york, two mexican cartel drug smugglers were busted with 1.2 million dollars worth of crystal meth, and they were instantly released back out on the streets due to cashless bail. cashless bail needs to be repealed. kathy hochul says she needs more data. i would offer if she counts all the press clippings on her desk, that can be the data. cashless bail has to go, but she doesn't want to lead and get the

job done. you have outsized power in albany of people who self-describe as socialists who feel like we don't go far enough in new york to pass what should be more pro-criminal policies. >> eric: the governor, who is your opponent, condemns this attack says it has quote no place in new york state. look, congressman -- those who passed it in albany, the democratic controlled legislature they say that cash bail requiring cash basically penalizes minority people, people who can't afford bail, and that it was unfair and unjust to require people to put up money if they don't have it to keep them behind bars. what do you say to that? >> which is exactly why judges should have discretion in setting bail. they should be able to weigh dangerousness and flight risk, past criminal record, seriousness of the offense on far more offenses. advocates for cashless bail as you point out would say that if someone gets charged with a low level offense, and they have no

prior record, there's no flight risk. they aren't a danger. the only reason they would have to stay behind bars is because they can't afford the smallest amount of cash bail. that particular scenario is one that we all can have a conversation about, at the judge's discretion. as we saw -- i remember this time last year, i was in the bronx where you had multiple synagogues being vandalized, and we were standing on the streets on a thursday saying the problem isn't that the person who is causing these vandalisms, with these anti-semitic attacks, invest not that they feel like they will never get caught, it is that they know when they do get caught, they would be released due to cashless bail. sure enough, over that weekend, the person was caught and immediately released. cashless bail needs to be overhauled. this argument that you use for that one person with the low level offense and no record shouldn't be resulting in that bad businessman, bad drug dealerer, bad criminal who gets busted with 1.2 million dollars worth of crystal meth and can't

afford bail. that's on them. >> eric: we have seen cashless bail in other type of progressive criminal justice policies that they say are restorive, etc., etc. -- restorative, etc. what is this doing to our state, our country, in terms of dealing with criminal activity or not dealing with it appropriately? what are we seeing? what are you afraid of? >> collectively, we're seeing our streets being turned over from law-abiding citizens to criminals. it is a combination of all sorts of policies. in new york, last summer, they passed something called less is more to release people early from prison who should remain behind bars, and when kathy hochul signed it, she released 191 people from rikers island and a whole bunch of people immediately get rearrested. they passed into law something called the halt act. we have corrections officers who are getting assaulted because the changes to solitary confinement. we see cop killers and murderers and rapists getting released and

there's no weighing of victim and victim impact when they want to provide testimony to say that's why this is a bad idea. of course we have district attorneys on top of it all refusing to enforce the law. my first act when i get sworn in, it is not just my constitutional authority, it will be my constitutional duty as governor, in new york, where there's no recall elections, i will take the oath, and my first act to be -- to tell the district attorney that he is being fired. all of this together will help to secure our streets. cashless bail is part of the problem making it worse. one of the reasons why new york leads the whole country in population loss. >> eric: the d.a. coming under tremendous criticism for a variety of his decisions including that infamous memo when he took office dealing with not even charging some cases under law. finally, if we can show that video again, congressman, just standing there up state new york, out in a rural area, and you're just standing, this guy walks up. what's going through your mind?

thank god you acted to grab his wrist. if he was faster, you would have been done for. -- you could have been done for. >> right, i can thank my mother for paying for those karate lessons when i was a kid. if somebody comes at you with a knife, some people think they should try to go after the knife. i would offer if you can gain control of their wrists, then you can control the knife in a way that is safer, and there's a lot of people around, so i only needed to control the situation for a moment, before everyone else would tackle him. but it was interesting in this scenario because i see him wearing a hat that says he's a veteran which in my life would result in my dropping my guard -- in me dropping my guard. you're a veteran? you're law enforcement? i feel safer. but at the same time, i see he has his weapon in his hand, which is similar to brass knuckles with a claw dagger sharp ends of it, and he's coming towards my throat. the first thing, a combination of instincts and the prior training is to go grab hold of

the wrist. i only need to buy myself a minute and everyone else would jump in. to your point, i was informed that he was intoxicated, and if this happened where it was faster, where maybe he was more nimble, maybe if there weren't so many people around, who were jumping in, it could have ended up a lot worse, and i'm just very grateful that it wasn't any worse than it was. >> eric: finally, we have seen an increase in political violence in our country, the attacks at the congressional baseball game, january 6th of course, a horrible attack on our democracy and country's election process, what would you say to those no matter what the motivation of this incident was to try and lower the temperature and the atmosphere in our country so that we can talk to each other so that we can deal with each other civilly and so we don't have continued incidences like these and some of those, that one in judge kavanaugh's home where a man was charged with taking a weapon, so that we can get back to the

civilized sense of dealing with the public issues and not have to have another public official threatened. >> we live in the greatest country in the history of the world. i'm in my 20th year serving the united states army. i'm willing to lay down my life in defense of our country and our flag. i encourage people to get involved in the process, speak up. you have a 1st amendment right to weigh in on what you care about, what you're passionate about, to try to make a positive change to our country. we can debate. we can disagree. vote. get as informed as you possibly can. but we settle our political scores at the ballot box and not through political violence. regardless of who you are supporting, you could be supporting a republican, democrat, or third party, left, right, in between, whoever you are anywhere, get involved, but there's a line to never cross. political violence is not welcome in this country, and we need to make sure, whether it's the day before an election or a day after an election, that we

are participating as positively as possible, always seeking to settle that political score only at the ballot box. >> eric: congressman lee zeldin, republican candidate for governor of new york. thank you for your time. we will let you get back on the campaign trail. we thank your mother, the lessons from your mother. a good one for us all to remember. >> thank you, eric. >> arthel: mothers always know best. congressman, i'm very glad you are okay. meanwhile, the humanitarian crisis at the border is now affecting a number of northern cities. a lot of these migrants could board buses in texas, provided by governor abbott, and head to cities like new york and d.c. well, now the mayors of those cities are asking for help, because they are unprepared to handle this influx. steve herrigan is at the border with the latest on this story. steve? >> that influx is happening day and night around the clock. fox news channel was out with

members of the texas department of public safety overnight, watching them apprehend migrants who crossed into the u.s. illegally at night. among those detained, a 24-year-old man from honduras, kevin palma. he has a lengthy arrest record for child pornography. he's also been deported from the u.s. three separate times. that policy you're talking about by texas initiated back in april of bussing some migrants to northern cities has created quite a bit of attention and controversy. texas being criticized by the mayors of washington, d.c. and new york city as well. texas governor abbott responding, but the problem is not with texas, but with the policies of joe biden he says that it's created this chaos along the border. more than 200,000 encounters between agents and migrants crossing illegally in the month of june alone, and it's becoming increasingly common to see groups, as many as 300 strong crossing the rio grand into texas.

arthel, back to you. >> arthel: steve herrigan live in texas, thank you. >> eric: they are wrapping up day three of turning point usa's action summit. the crowd of students heard from republican leaders this weekend, some of whom may have their eye on the white house in 2024. phil keating has been covering it for us at this week and has the latest at the summit in tampa, florida. >> hey, there, eric. we're one of the few people left here as this wrapped up already. everybody going back to their cities across the country vf -- after a big three-day influential conference that featured conservative, activists, elected republican politicians, really a who's who, including several potential 2024 presidential candidates including last night's headliner. >> your generation will not let them do what they want to do to you which is bad bad things. -- we'll not let them do what

they want to do to you which is bad bad things. we're going to take our liberty, destiny. we're going to take back very soon our country. >> the former president came on the stage with a show in front of the crowd of the ballroom, a crowd of mostly young people, as that that's what turning point usa is all about, getting to high school and college-aged kids emphasizing conservative principles and politics. >> and so we say at turning point usa that lives will be changed here. we know that to be true. what's amazing to think about how many future governors, senators, and congress people will be walking through the doors right here. >> one of the u.s. senators who certainly could end up running for president is florida's rick scott. but he told me he's made no decision on that, but right now is far more focused on this november. >> i think the big thing now is win in 22. i'm the head of the senate

committee. we need to get a majority in the house and the senate. we have a lot of work to do. >> after all of the speakers, which included friday night's headliner, florida governor desantis, also could be a 2024 presidential candidate. the group did a straw poll amongst the 3,000 young attendees as to who they would want to run on the republican ticket for the white house in 2024, 78% said trump. 19% said desantis. eric? >> eric: phil, thanks so much. arthel? >> arthel: i say give it to phil keating. [laughter] all right. president biden is proposing an increase in funding for police, but with crime on the rise and departments struggling to find new recruits, critics say the proposal falls short of addressing the real issues facing law enforcement. we will have more on that straight ahead. i drink what helps me rehydrate and recover: pedialyte® sport.

>> eric: california governor snu signing a new law that grants citizens the ability to sue manufacturers and sellers of ghost guns and banned high powered weapons. that move setting the stage for a potential fight at the supreme court about that. we are live in los angeles with reaction and the details.

hi, christina. >> hi, eric. governor gavin newsom and a coalition of democrats note that this will likely set the stage for a legal battle with 2nd amendment rights groups and gun owners at the supreme court level. >> there's no principled way the united states supreme court can overturn this law and uphold the right for texas to continue to move forward. >> newsom says he hopes other democratic governors use this move as an example. on friday, newsom also said no other state in the u.s. is doing more on gun safety than the state of california. under california's new gun law, a court can order $10,000 in damages for each weapon used in an alleged violation. >> you cannot sell. you cannot manufacture. you cannot transfer these illegal weapons of war and mass destruction in the state of california, and if you do, there are 40 million people that can collect $10,000 from you and

attorney fees for engaging in that illegal activity. >> but some gun rights activists say this is an attempt by a progressive governor to restrict a 2nd amendment right of law-abiding citizens with illogical reasoning. >> that's like saying if we got in an accident, and a drunk driver hit us, that the fact that the drunk driver was driving a ford, you can sue ford. this is a way admitted by the governor and his cronies in the legislature to try to bankrupt the firearms industry by taking them to court. >> and as of now, this new california law is set to go into effect in january. eric? >> eric: christina, thank you. arthel? >> arthel: eric, police in texas killed a robbery suspect who shot an officer in the face, after a car and foot chase yesterday. authorities say missouri city texas officer crystal se pull ve da is expected to make a full

recovery. this comes after the backlash against aggressive d.a.s, many communities are facing manpower shortages in law enforcement. we're going to bring in a former nypd officer and vice president of the suffolk county police benevolence association. i think the question many americans are asking, what happened following the covid shutdown, crime has gotten out of control. i mean, what are the contributing factors, the way you see it? >> it's great to be here with you, and i don't think it's a great mystery as to what happened, especially here in new york. it is bad policies, bad laws, passed by bad politicians, that facilitate crime, that make it nearly impossible to do our job, which is to stop crime and take violent criminals off the street. a few months ago, they wanted to defund us. i think the democrats have sort of moved off that now. however, they haven't addressed the underlying problem, which is they have their foot on the gas,

passing laws that are pro criminal. >> arthel: so basically, you know, officers are putting their lives on the line. they're doing their jobs. they're putting people in jail, and then there's a turnstile and the crooks are out of jail, you know, hours later. let me go here, though. i think that's what you were summing up for us. last week president biden proposed 37 billion dollars in funding for fighting and preventing crime. this includes 13 million to help communities hire and train 100,000 police officers over five years. this of course needs congressional approval. from the police officer's perspective, what would you say to congress to prevent this bill from getting blocked by politics? >> we need police officers on the street. we certainly need to fund our police. you see even in corporate america, starbucks now in the most woke cities, they're closing their shops and moving away.

the people that live in these neighborhoods don't have the option of moving away and running away, like corporate america does. you know, the regular person, the people who live and work in these crime-ridden areas, they are begging for help, and we need our police on the streets. we need funding, and we need politicians and elected officials that are going to have our back and let us do our jobs. >> arthel: uh-huh. when i asked you, you know, in the beginning what's causing the crime wave, how do we fix it i ask now? what's the first step that can bring immediate and noticeable relief as we wait for the president's funding to hopefully get passed by congress? >> i think that happens on a state level. here in new york, we need to repeal bail reform. that's that turnstile that's referred to. we had what looked like an assassination attempt to me on congressman lee zeldin who is running for governor here in new york. that person walked out the door,

and if not for the federal charges would still be free. that's a broken system. we have mexican drug cartels, the most violent of criminals, 1.2 million dollars in illegal meth, they walked out the door. it is surreal at this point. this is what we're dealing with on the ground as police officers. we need these laws to change, and it's not just here in new york. it is across the country. >> arthel: yeah. you know what? listen, there's no such thing as a progressive city or non-progressive city. people like us, we're people, nobody wants crime in their neighborhoods. we need to get it together to protect us all and give the police what they want and just have communication across the board. former nypd officer and vice president of the suffolk county tba. thank you so much. >> my pleasure, thank you for having me. >> arthel: yeah. eric? >> eric: turning to foreign affairs, russia looking to deepen its ties with iran. that's as the country is getting isolated from the rest of the

world. putin continues his assault on ewe ukraine. -- on ukraine. what could this relationship between iran and russia mean for us? we have our guest standing by to tell us. afety system. >> dad: looks great. thanks. >> tech: stay safe with safelite. schedule now. >> singers: ♪ safelite repair, safelite replace. ♪ >> tech: need to get your windshield fixed? safelite makes it easy. >> tech vo: you can schedule in just a few clicks. and we'll come to you with a replacement you can trust. >> man: looks great. >> tech: that's service on your time. schedule now. >> singers: ♪ safelite repair, safelite replace. ♪

>> eric: it's now been more than 150 days since putin thought it would be a good idea to invade ukraine. today russia confirmed it struck infrastructure in a southern part city yesterday just hours after signing a united nations deal to let ukraine resume its grain exports through the black sea. this as russia is gaining ground in the eastern part of ukraine, but calls for warplanes for kyiv could finally kip the balance for -- could tip the balance for ukraine if they come. lucas tomlinson has more. >> the white house says four more of those satellite guided

rocket launchers are coming to ukraine bringing the total to 16. but experts say the ukrainians need 60. the defense minister says he needs 100. a congressman visited kyiv this weekend to meet with president zelenskyy. >> we're seeing some success with what we provided, but we need to provide even longer range artillery and the other piece that we talked a lot about was having advisors help the ukrainians not on the front lines but help with their plans, logistics, and hopefully help them go on the offensive soon. >> walt said those advisors could come from the u.s. military to better track the billions of dollars of weapons pouring into this country. the strike on odessa was launched from a russian warship in the black sea, hours after the grain deal was signed, ukraine's foreign ministry says the strike was a spit in their face. the defense ministry compared it to stalin's tactics in the 30s that killed millions in the red

famine. secretary of state blinken condemned the attack saying in part quote it undermines the effort to bring food to the hungry and credibility of russia's commitments to the deal. russia is gaining ground in the east and enveloping a region, ukrainian forces are trying to open up a new front in the south, which fell quickly to the russians after launching its full scale invasion five months ago today. crane -- ukrainian forces have been shelling a key bridge. ukrainians hope the city can be recaptured by september. they are also hoping for fighter jets as you mentioned from the united states. john kirby shot down that idea earlier on media buzz. >> it is just an exploratory measure to kind of see what long-term, trying to help improve ukraine's defense needs long long-term even postwar. >> postwar, kirby says, eric. the only jets the ukrainians are going to want to come here if they are successful in this war are airliners bringing in tourists. right now ukrainians remain

outgunned in the east and russian forces are slowly gaining ground. >> eric: a member of parliament pleaded on fox news life for those warplanes saying those could tip the balance if they could get them, sadly, it would be postwar. lucas, thank you, good to see you. arthel? >> arthel: eric and lucas, thank you. putin traveled to tehran last week to meet with iranian leaders and the president of turkey. the white house said earlier this month that iran is sending drones to russia, possibly hundreds of them. national security and military analyst dr. rebecca grant joins us now. she's also the president of iris independent research and a fox news contributor. dr. grant, thanks for being here. so here's the scenario. vladimir putin walks into a bar to meet with iranian and turkish leaders. what kind of danger and disaster could that lead to? >> well, arthel, that is pretty

much what happened because vladimir putin thinks of himself as a major world leader, but there are not many places around the world that he's welcome anymore. so he's looking for some new upgraded partnerships with iran in particular so that he can score points against the u.s. in the west and rock the boat in the middle east and make things just that much harder for the biden administration. >> arthel: meanwhile, you just heard lucas tomlinson's report that national security council spokesperson john kirby who was on media buzz today, he said that the u.s. is not considering sending fighter jets to ukraine and that it could be for postwar. is that shocking? >> i am shocked. i bet john kirby would take back that postwar comment. he means that nato is going to upgrade ukraine's security forces so they have compatible equipment, you know, for the future going forward. what this means today is that

we're still forcing ukraine to fight without air power, something that our forces don't ever have to do. and just pledging or saying they would look into giving them better air support would be so helpful to that crucial fight in the east and down in the south as well. >> arthel: yeah, because you have the ukrainian ambassador to the u.s. you have ukraine's first lady. she was in d.c. they're stressing the need for more weapons and fire power from the u.s. and allies, but the u.s. is, you know, the big guns, so to speak, and literally as well. iran, again, is backing russia with military drones. how long is this horrible war on ukraine going to last? and how do you stop putin? ? >> there's a direct connection because iran has some terror weapon drones, but if ukraine has fighter jets, they can make

[inaudible] out of those drones. i don't think iran can supply russia in drones in big enough numbers as a regular supplier to make a difference. but putin will continue this war as long as he has artillery shells. i see ukraine turning on to the offensive. i have my fingers crossed particularly for activities in the south. >> arthel: good. before we go, i want to talk about that fictitious bar i mentioned at the top. if a chinese leader walked in, would that be a more menacing sight from the u.s. leader watching from a dark corner on the other side of the bar? >> here's the deal, the chinese own that bar and everyone in it. china's a wildcard in the middle east, much more important to iran, russia, and even turkey than the relationships with each other. it is all about what china's backing and paying for in the middle east as well. >> arthel: and they are shelling out the money where we don't want them to. >> that's right, exactly, they are. >> arthel: okay. you want to tell me where? >> yeah, exactly. so the main thing china is doing

is buying more energy from both iran and russia, circumventing and flouting our western sanctions. there are also military deals going in there. china looks for every opportunity with its initiative to add more infrastructure and get countries into debt. so chinese money is really an underlying piece of the politics of that bad part of the middle east. >> arthel: all right. dr. rebecca grant, thank you as always. >> thank you, arthel. >> arthel: take care. eric? >> eric: arthel, i think that china owns the bar, they own the booze. they pay the bartender, you know, to keep your analogy going. it is the summer of the shark. a growing number of bitings and sightings, forcing beachgoers out of the water as temperatures are near record highs across the country. we will have more on the shark next.

>> arthel: new york's rock away beach reopened today, a day after it closed due to shark sightings. that was just days after a great white shark washed up on a beach farther east on long island. alexis mcadams is in queens with the latest on the growing number of shark scares. hi, alexis. >> hi, arthel. yeah, that's right. the beach is back open, though, here in queens. you can see over my shoulder there's stale lot of people out -- there's still a lot of people out here because it is a hot day. they want to take a dip in the water. this is the third time in the past month that the beach here in queens was closed due to shark sightings. we talked to a local this morning who was out here yesterday when she said she saw two sharks swim by. listen. >> they took everybody out. when he got here, i said look, i said we always see dolphins here. there was no -- that wasn't a dolphin. the dolphin goes in and come
